ENGAWA GARDEN
Built in 1961, this reimagined mid-century engawa entry garden honors its modernist and Japanese-inspired roots while integrating contemporary stormwater and landscape strategies. The design interprets the original work of C.C. Pinkney by restoring ceremonial arrival, layered thresholds, and circulation through a bridge-centered entry sequence. Limestone runnels and swales transform water into a visible design element, while restrained planting and authentic materials create a calm, immersive garden. The renewed landscape reconnects the home to its architectural legacy while supporting resilient, contemporary living.
